egyptians are flocking to tahrir square to protest against the interim government which they say stole the revolution for freedom and democracy. papercuts for the news of the world britain's best selling newspaper that traded on standard for hundred sixty years is killed off by its own toxic tabloid tactics. and israel is on high alert had over fifty planes. bringing pro palestinian activists out of the palace about ships protecting greece. it's at twelve noon here in the russian capital you're watching our table come to

the program. hundreds of angry protesters have started gathering carranza tahrir square unhappy that the revolutions goals are not being achieved gyptian activists have been calling for a million people to gather there for the former president's trial is pending next month and these are now reports suggestions believe his regime's legacy is still very much alive. their revolution was hijacked and they wanted back egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone we go through the. so the mobile box the ship is alive and well the taste of freedom was short lived the military is in full power mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant worth them before i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now. to prison i guess now they're being

read in violence they want to kill. the school there in the first place he's known simply as uncle horst i'm here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military throws of civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major demands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials unfortunate for the people. they had this kind of revenge with water that when he fell down they felt it's over everything is going to be fine and the country is. cleaned up. but that's not. true. early in the week protesters began setting up camp here on top we're for what they're calling the next phase of the revolution but this time they don't just want hundreds of thousands to come here they want to take career across egypt and

get rid of all but little people like myself have been arguing for taking the high you to the factories taking you to the universities seeking to hire you to the workplaces meaning that every single word police we have in egypt. now whatever was never interested in politics in till january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone. and she will continue to fight to the end i want every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every protester has their own vision of the egypt they're fighting for some want to constitution then free elections others think the new laws should follow the vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is

not the end and he said no way r t cairo. but in libya rebel forces have advanced on a key road south of tripoli as a buffalo way towards the capital meanwhile u.s. lawmakers are continuing to bankroll the libya campaign despite repeated complaints that it's not sanctioned by congress but dr franklin lamb from americans concerned for middle east peace says they turns their strikes really uniting people under colonel gadhafi. the bombing needlessly puts the population on edge it increases anxiety and anger if nato was trying to weaken the regime it seems to me that as history teaches us would be a bomb a population it is often the unite behind the government of the day and rather than breaking the connection between the people and the leadership it seems to increase is it was a mistake obama election may be on the line cannot afford a defeat and the victory comes like it's supposed to be as it is saddam and osama

you've got to kill the bad guy so it looks to us like it's now a game of targeting the leadership otherwise nato ruses if nato ruses the consequences are enormous there's enormous trillion dollar financial consequences for those members of the nato countries who are seen as aggressors and invaders here so the feeling is that they've got to do something the only thing they can do possibly to achieve a victory is either assassinate khadafi and some of his circle or didn't and to do that they might have to come on the ground nato has joined the side of promoting the rebels against the government again a clear violation of one nine hundred seventy three. that was dr franklin that from the group of americans consensus middle east peace with his views on nato as actions in the past. britain's best selling newspaper is to shut down

after being engulfed in a phone hacking and police bribery scandal it's a blow to billionaire owner rupert murdoch as the news of the world's profits helped drive the dominance of his news corp one hundred sixty eight year old sunday tabloid became embroiled in claims that the phone calls of thousands of crime victims and dead soldiers providence have been intercepted huge public backlash gathered pace this week when it emerged the paper had access to voicemail of a missing teenager many dowler it was later found murdered it's thought some of her parents desperate messages were white possibly keeping false hope she was still alive british government is promising at least one inquiry into the allegations against the news of the world media analyst phil reste told r.t. that the scandal is likely to sound the death knell of a politician's cozying up to murdoch's newspapers but says the bogles empire will still survive. i think something changed this week you know for decades british

prime ministers have been on their knees to that to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper here in britain when the sun supported a british politician running for prime ministership you know they won it and then you find on the next day you find that prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean so you've got this demeaning of british democracy of that missing of democracy really which the murdoch press was at but after that i think there was a for silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because of that and i think a line was crossed. a very finely tuned business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called b. sky b. and that decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he. as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the

whole news international it's a tiny part of all that but i tell you the most important thing bill in my view is that the political class had been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do it anymore it's going to be. well still ahead of the program georgia brings down the shutters on photographers for detained western arch claim it's fair the president is framing so-called spies the boaster his regime also. girl be sure it's not a big deal and your guy is like expected to be all over. doctors discovery that's been helping generations of patients twelve again that's in russia close up in a few minutes time. massive explosions in the turkmenistan city of ahmed reportedly left half its population without electricity gas and water the government statement says they were caused by firework materials and no one was injured. media sources claim the situation is far worse saying this

is all reporting fatalities and injuries are also reports of looting nearby buildings being heavily damaged broken windows shattered glass telephone lines have been disrupted even distressed relatives elsewhere unable to contact friends and families. emergency vehicles have been dispatched to the scene from the capital following an emergency cabinet session chaired by the president mr official information there on what happened. hundreds of protestant activists are trying to reach blockaded gaza by air or to several ships among an aid for to they were forced to dock greece heading for the largest international airport from europe and the u.s. but around top israeli security is waiting for them all the slip. this is the focal point where from the course of today friday some six hundred activists will be

arriving on fifty different ways to show this support for the palestinian people will be converging here at israel's largest airport been going international but the israelis offer paid outside they must be at least five to six hundred police security offices and the israeli media is reporting that the police have the names of more than three hundred activists but the police are refusing to either confirm or deny this now the activists say that the action which has been dubbed a slight as opposed to the fifth which has been held up in greece where some ten ships are being was to use the mission by africans to sell to gaza these activists are saying that they want to highlight the plight of people not only in gaza but across the west bank and the palestinian territories they say that their action is nonviolent they said that they will be open to feel sorry to hear that they intend to travel to the palestinian territories and that the proper course of the next week they have a number of activities that they will be participating and it will be interesting

to see how the israeli authorities here at the airport deal with this because traditionally when people fly into israel and admit that they're going to be participating in profile assuming activities they can be dealt a very harsh vote very often being defaulted also this country with five french and belgian activists have been detained and deported from israel the israelis are dubbing these people fully guns and troublemakers the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in these latest of grace said that they will be dealt with as they need to be dealt with me and sister gave that gaza is a north understands but is being held captive by the hamas leadership a must of course being an organization that is well the gods as terrorist policy ought to think through an international television. the space shuttle atlantis is being fueled up for the fleets final flight by the way that they keep it grounded in the for longer than did. there up to a million spectators who expected to watch the shuttle program's last of

a launch live pictures here on the shuttle moment pat but what is going to chicken reports want to be an unforgettable moment for some will be painful for all those. empty shells of what was once florida's thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many of the kennedy space center workers rock which is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know the beach is built on the space program you know just a lot of you are going to be out of jobs sorry to be out of homes people are welfare left and right food stamps and sony chris a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a plan to splicing there for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for

a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far i haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrapped its shuttle program and now wants the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when they'll be able to deliver them one thing is certain though bill be able to hire only a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work soon this is the first shuttle ever it never made it to space but it was going to put tests before the columbia shuttle first launch into space in nineteen eighty one a total of five shuttles i've been used for space missions says that two of them were lost in tragic accidents a nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those lawsuits and the skyrocketing. price per each launch gradually led to the cancellation of the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the

shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the people involved i think it's a really bad thing for the united states to lose this skilled workforce it's going to be difficult to rebuild it for years the shuttle has been the only vehicle that could ferry crew and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job it's kind of sad because i've already seen a lot fewer of my friends go in there because they'll be more people that are probably may never see again it also means the end of a once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle going to shut down. well that's cyberspace now and see what's.

yes we'll take you to the region in southern siberia in one hundred fifty became the center of soviet orthopedics. revolutionary restructuring sixty years later his breakthrough stubing used to help people overcome their disabilities. the soviet union and russia gave the world many great inventions and what special about them is that the technology behind the snow house is often very simple darry basic yet they remain in service for many many decades take this they use the rocket for example it was designed back in this sixty's the design hasn't changed that much yet to these day it's remains the most reliable and actually at this point of time the only means of transporting humans to the international space station but today we want to introduce you to another great

invention of which proved just as durable and this is the frame of the. it was first designed back in the fifty's but it still remains the main orthopedic technique for treating bone fractures all sorts of deformities and injuries as well as for. our next story is about bad. for both of them it's about walking tall eight year old into his legging left leg and twenty seven year old japanese engineer with lagging self-confidence and intrigue on didn't choose his predicament very much did turn centimeters shorter than the average charge for man in japan because of some employers refused to hire me one of them told me directly but i was too short to deal with the clients could you just already spend three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven sam. two meters to his stature it may seem like

a tall order but the actual surgery is fairly simple though painful invented by the famed soviet orthopedic is give really result of in the nineteen fifties these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating tissue regeneration it was that of was able to reshape arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life piecing together patients. and their shattered lives in the goal when professing lazard designed his first frame using bicycle parts sixty years later his invention is increasingly being used to help people who are eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller in the ultimate goal is still the same fixing somebody is alive both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted she was out of center now days seeking surgery magic reasons most of them are men and most are not what you would call vertically

challenged professor novick of who operated on many of them sas it usually comes down to man's pride. the first patient he turned to us was the leg length the mean request was two meters fifteen centimeters to be still want to surgery because his partner was to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their head but maybe nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lives fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries are banned in many countries and even the will out there bit of leaks pensive but in russia the entire course costs about one tenth of the similar package in the united states. financial considerations were one of the reasons that brought this washington state native to western siberia yet his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in auditors in america advertised as one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one

sixty eight and so one eight centimeters would have brought me right to our very start it's one of the average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be sure it's not a big deal like your guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation most mad a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite in dealing yet he still would want to have had the surgery adding seven more centimeters to his self-confidence she took told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. so now or so they call your so what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations a sound like an artsy korg on the region. travels take us to send pieces back as modern unders explores the country's
